Cigarette burns on the comforter

In a room that says "No Smoking"

Bible in the back of a bedside drawer

Been a while since it's been opened

Raindrops dripping through the popcorn ceiling

Hook's been known ton throw a spark or two

Hope your head don't need no blowing
Chorus:
G Gm
I'll probably check in late and I won't stay too much past dawn
G Gm
Chasing down a part of me in the colors of the sun

Who knows, I could find my soul

Looking down some road where I ain't driven
G C Gm
I feel closer every minute in this motel livin'

Gm
Front desk lady seemed a little drunk
Gm
'Cause she fumbled me my keys
Gm
Said "you can pay by the hour, you can pay by the night

Well there's something about blowing into town

Flickering lights on the vacancy sign

That could use a little work like me

I'll probably check in late and I won't stay too much past dawn

I feel closer every minute in this motel livin'

One more wish on a penny in a parking lot
N.C.
Or something waiting at the next map dot

I'll probably check in late and I won't stay too much past dawn
G Gm
Chasing down a part of me in the colors of the sun

Who knows, I could find my soul

I feel closer every minute in this motel livin'
